No hierarchy just a level playing field,everyone has a equal voice so no one party has a hold on the system. Scrap the tories,libs Labour sinn fein dup,if you want a job in gov you have to sign up to the collective for the country. Anything that gets decided should be from the people somehow not the 'party' rep,no majoritys Might work….but how do you come to a consensus?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Undemocratic and unchecked They're bemoaning Boris and his party gate but I'd like to have the inside info on Brussels parties, costs , expenses claimed, hotel and travel costs, hours worked, objectives achieved that have been going on for decades at our expense... your still paying them Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nobody belittled the U.K. or trying to scupper ye…..Oven ready deal….Boris great boast that he delivered a Brilliant deal for the British people that May couldn’t do…..how’s that scuppering?? Nobody said your future was less important….just deal with other commitments and agreements in a open, transparent and honourable way….which your government never did….. it was going pretty ok, till Boris and his sycophants pretty much alienated every party in NI… Avg household incomes down 2% in U.K. over last 10 years. France up 10% Germany up 19% I can’t see Northern Ireland being sorted without real Leadership from Downing Street….One Of Suella Braverman’s reasons for reneging from the protocol was a rise in violence in NI, citing a hoax bomb attack on Simon Coveney…..Wait till next week, see what comes of that…. I wonder will Sunak win the leadership battle…..be some craic then…. I've watched multiple videos of EU delegates/country reps openly mocking the UK, which is fine but hardly constructive , and tbh any doubts many had during voting for brexit were washed away by the post brexit behaviour from EU. I do think ni has been sidelined, and hopefully current events and financial recovery dealt with gfa will come back into the limelight.. I don't recognise the stats you put up, France's cost of living has sky rocketed, the UK's issue is fuel cost leading to massive inflation, all incomes will have to rise to meet this. Suella seems to have some good politics in my eyes, although I'd prefer Ben Wallace over all now. If you've listened to sunaks uncomfortable interviews you can't get past it, Boris was asked how much is a pint of milk , he answered no idea but I can tell you the price of champagne, sunak made the mistake of trying to be one of the plebs , and.peoe were never buying that...like watching ed miliband trying to eat a Greggs pastie Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well the break up may be inevitable... As you say from my point of view Britain will be in a better place, less bureaucracy, more self reliant , between covid and Putin the west will strengthen and Britain will play it's part in Europe no doubt , but also have it's self... A government that can hopefully be kept in check and deals that can be done efficiently and quickly.

When we joined the EEC there were no political sides to it. All that came later step by step. Each agreement took away a little more sovereignty. The national politicians were grateful that many of the unpopular laws introduced could be blamed on Brussels even though the same laws would have had to be implemented nationally. We sleep walked into it bit by bit. Now the tail is wagging the dog and the European people are increasingly starting to wake up to the reality. If it wasn't for Covid and Ukraine the EU would be at war with itself as national politicians are increasingly fearful of losing domestic support by promoting the EU. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
